It is easy for you, as a fire sign, to talk about things you could do. Actually undertaking new challenges, however, can be difficult, especially because you’re such a perfectionist. The secret is to become an expert at failure. That way, it doesn’t matter whether you do things perfectly or not; you’ll learn from absolutely everything.
Leo confidence gives me a boost, but I often use it to give others a lift, too
Like your ruler, the Sun, you shine with a certain generosity. This comes naturally, and for this reason, you rarely pause and consider how much you are giving or receiving from others. Yet every once in a while, it is important to consider that; not because someone is giving too little or too much, but because it’s vital that you find a balance in your own life.
While you’re a fire sign, you’re also one of the fixed signs of the zodiac, which means you get into habits: habits of what you do, but also, you get into habits involving the people you hang out with. While family is one thing, and learning to live with and love them is important, those that you get to know—friends or even colleagues—are also important.
Occasionally, though, it is essential for you to review the nature of those relationships and consider whether they still enrich you. It may be that you simply need to have a heart-to-heart discussion, and that discussion may also be part of your own review about what’s working for you and what isn’t.
As a Leo and a fire sign, this kind of review may not come naturally. Still, once you begin doing it, you’ll realize what a good idea it is and probably decide to make it a regular part of your regimen in every area of your life.
Being the fixed sign that you are, you enjoy settling into things. However, often a certain individual will do you a favor. They will shake things up for you, encourage you to do something new, to explore—and in doing so, they may trigger a far-reaching and valuable change in your life.
While you’re quite rightly proud of yourself, you also get bored with certain disciplines: disciplines that are supposed to keep you healthy and well. Yet you’re unsure of what’s next. The trick is to have someone who gets you to try new things. Sometimes, trying them can be more fun than sticking with them, but you’ll find the best approach for you.

Deep down, you know that giving in to those who insist they need your help usually leads to problems. Still, ignoring those who are struggling isn’t easy. If you must do something, set clear limits and stick to them. That allows you to relieve your sense of guilt, yet avoid major dramas.
Leo: JULY 22 – AUGUST 21
Ruler: The Sun
Symbol: The Lion
Element: Fire
Flower: Marigold
Whatever you’re doing, you Leos have style. Being ruled by the Sun, your magnetism comes naturally, and being fire signs, you’re usually juggling your busy calendar while charming others. However, when you’re relaxing, you’ll do it with the conviction of your symbol, the lion. Your flower is marigold; your spice, golden saffron; and your trees are the heady, scented bay and the olive. Your stone is gold topaz, or simply wearing gold.
